I am a wreck I don't know if I can do this the moment I left I started crying and I haven't stopped. I didn't cry in front of them it was hard not to I think what made me saddest is that they all are locked up and they shouldn't be. know child should be. I don't care what they have done. Kids need help not punishment. I have my juvinal procedures class tonight but I am just not going to go. I just won't be able to foucus. I have a staff meeting in the morning to give my report on what I thought about the class today. I just want to walk in their and tell them they need to let these kids out. but I have to be objective. And I know what ever comes out of my mouth will be the right thing. At least I have til 11 am so I have at least some time to think about what would be best for everyone. I need a hot smelly good bath. I'll be back.

Sounds like a difficult situation and I know when you are dealing with children it makes it even more heart wrenching. It is really heartwarming how much you care -- that says a lot about you as a person. I think it is a good idea to take some time and write your thoughts down as objectively as possible. Your commitment is obvious and I think you are right the more objective you can be the more effective you will be tomorrow. Cry, cry, cry ... get the emotion out now and then write down what you experienced and your thoughts about it and I know you will get your points across.
Best of luck tomorrow .. you are in my thoughts. :angel:
